When we first arrived at the hospital after my father was brought to Christ for emergency surgery, Danielle came out & spoke with us giving us an updated, detailed account of how he was prior, things he said and wanted us to know. She was so compassionate and professional and put me and my mother at ease. She explained things so mom could understand and relate. She was with him other times after admission and was always so attentive, explaining to him, easing him (he's a very high strung, anxious man on a good day). So to get him to relax in the situation he's in is a task at times.
The last time we were at Christ Danielle took great strides to reassure us of changes we saw, why certain equipment was being used, how it would help in his continued care. When she would go in to do his care she took her time with him, listened to him, he's weak so it required patience which she had in abundance. Everyone on his team has been absolutely amazing, Danielle just stood out among all the excellence with a bit extra.
